There was a problem hiding this comment.
Nice! Tested it in cascade, works great. There is some stuff that is commented out, was that just for testing and it should be brought back in?

This adds the ability to include a file but then overwrite specific fields. The syntax is "Include this file, except that the following items should have the given values...."

The syntax could go further in the future.
